Is my nipple piercing pierced wrong?

[Sunflower960]

Hi!

Can swelling make it seem like your nipples are pierced wrong?
I had both nipples pierced 2 days ago.
My left nipple is swollen but my right is fine.
It appears to have been pierced a bit wrong but my question is if it can just appear this way due to swelling.
I'm praying I don't have to take this out and have it repierced. 🙏

Iv put a picture of the other one for context.

Thank you!

It does look a wee bit further back I guess. But is there a right and wrong? And who is looking so closely for it to matter? I can’t see how it could move forward even if re pierced as it’s too close surely?

I think they both look ok. You have to wait a long time for sufficient healing to have it repierced I'd have thought. I had mine (just the 1) repierced 2 years ago after 20 years and I was told it was tougher to pierce due to scar tissue.
Give yours 6 months to heal and see how you feel then.

I'm more concerned of healing if it is not pierced where it should be.
If it healed like this I would be happy, you can't tell when it's not close up.
I'm only worried that it will halt healing as this nipple is a lot more tender than the other and although you can't tell much on the picture, it's quite a bit more swollen. I'm wondered if this was due to it not being pierced in the right place. If there is a right or wrong 🤔

Hi, I had both mine pierced and one took longer to heal, had more niggles than the other.
I think the placing looks great so I wouldn't worry 😊

looks a bit close to the base, when I had mine done it was a touch further out, something about the balls not touching the skin,

Other than that they look fine

They look fine, it will just be the swelling

I can't see a difference other than it's not central in the pic with the arrow...looks like you just need to slide it over a bit?

They look good 👍🏻

OP, ‘looks lovely to me. I’ve been thinking of having mine done for a long time; nervous because my body has rejected a naval piercing twice.

Please report back on the healing as time goes on. I’m concerned that any “bounce” (l’m a 36F) will make it take longer/be more difficult.

@StarlightLady I'm a 36HH and had one of mine done ages ago. Took about 6 months to heal completely but was fine and not that painful for most of it
